This is a neat little item that was dug in a privy along with a few go-withs that have been dug and purchased.

The egg was for replacement under a setty hen when you took her eggs and wanted her to keep sitting untill you replaced them with the eggs you want to hatch.

The other items are chick waterers.

Hey John, No water in mine. But that reminds me of a funny joke about hobos and odd roosters.[sm=lol.gif]

Let me know if you ever decide to get rid of it.

what do you think they are worth the liquid makes it feel more reel i might part with it not sure , it is old dug it behind a 1867 house in yarmouth maine....

I've seen several but don't what they are worth. I,ve only seen one on ebay and it was cracked.

My mom said when she was a girl her aunt had a dozen but she has no idea what they are worth now.

Just found one on Ebay. They go for $2 to $3 ea.

hey those eggs are cool!!! pictured are some items i found in a river bed, thinking they were rounded by years of water, then i started finding them on the hillside near the river, there solid which looks like marble, very heavy, around the size of a golf ball, im guessing some kind of weights?? any info mike

Madman, to me those balls you have look like clay “shooter†marbles. The eggs are made out of milk glass and are all hollow. I don’t believe I have ever dug one of those eggs but when my buddies dig them I always buy or trade for them because I think they are pretty neat. Correct me if I am wrong Warren but are the tips of the eggs pontiled?
